Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Shallow Tomb
Here you go!
Facing the five bright red money bags placed in front of him, a flash of excitement flashed in Gerry's eyes. He stepped forward and reached out to pick up the purses, but just then, a dark shadow stood in front of him.
"Is that you?"
Looking at his brother, Gerry couldn't help frowning.
"What do you want to do?"
"I think this gentleman is right, big brother. ”
The younger brother, who had always followed him quietly and silently, stood in front of him with an unsettling gloom.
"We should now calculate the money before we separate it. ”
"What's so good about that. ”
Gerry frowned, in fact, after seeing the five money bags, he found out what the problem was, he originally planned to put the matter to a later date, but now it seems that his brother obviously disagrees with him. Gerry frowned, and he looked at Yuren, only to see that the nobleman, who was wrapped in black cloth all over his body, was still examining the corpses, and did not pay attention to the movements on his side.
"Alright, now let's get out of here first, don't make any trouble, and when we get to a safe place, it's not too late for us to divide the money. ”
"No!"
To Gerry's surprise, his younger brother, who had always obeyed his orders, uncharacteristically chose to refuse this time.
"I'm going to divide it now. ”
"You ..............."
"Brother, I know what you want to do. ”
The thin black shadow stared at Gerry, his eyes shining like they had never seen before.
"You want to go home and be a rich man and show our parents that we are not those wastes who have achieved nothing. Yes, it's your choice, but it's not mine, and I don't want to go back to that damn place, the hell huts, the hell farmers, and all the hell things. I yearn for the outside world, I yearn for the bustling city, and those beautiful girls. That's right, not the rustic-dressed peasant women in the country villages, but pretty, noble maidens like the young lady lying there!
“........................”
Gerry looked at his brother in amazement, as if he had only realized another side of him for the first time today.
"So I'm not going to go back with you, I'm going to continue living in this city, I didn't have money before, but now I have, I have money, I can follow old Bronch, open a shop in a rich area, I have a craft, I have the ability, I have money now. I can definitely live a better life than I have now!"
"And how are you going to divide it?"
Gerry frowned, looking at the other with some unpleasantness.
"It's very simple, big brother, you take two bags, I only need three bags......... I guess that's fair. ”
"Fair fart!"
Hearing this, Gerry didn't even pay attention to Yulian anymore, and shouted angrily.
"Why should I take two bags!? I'm your eldest brother, don't forget, you have followed me all these years and listened to me to survive! Well, for my brother's sake, I can give you two bags and four hundred gold coins, which is enough to satisfy your dreams." ”
"Dream on!"
Faced with Gerry's proposal, the black shadow took a cold sip.
"Don't forget, big brother, you had taken a deposit of one hundred and fifty gold coins from that gentleman before, and now you let me take four hundred gold coins, but you want to take seven hundred?
"Do you think all that money is mine?"
Gerry's face became even more gloomy, and he began to feel that his younger brother was too ignorant.
"Do you know how much money I've spent over the past three days to buy off the damn guards, the night watchmen of the cemetery, and how much to rent the damn storehouse and wagon?
"How much does it cost?"
Gerry's brother apparently scoffed at his brother's claims.
"Don't you always brag in front of me that you can get those people even if you don't spend any money? Don't talk about business, talk about feelings, that's what you said, brother. Okay, I don't know how much you spent, but you definitely took more than me, so I want those three bags of gold now, and not a single bag is missing!"
"Fart!"
Gerry slammed the table.
"Do you really think of yourself? I tell you, if it weren't for me, you bastard would have been a corpse in a stinking puddle! I've had enough of your stupidity and ignorance, look at your shit, every time we go to work, you're as timid as a mouse, jumping up and running faster than a rabbit when we get to work!"
"Nonsense!"
In the face of Gerry's anger, his brother obviously couldn't accept it.
"I'm the one who goes down to the cemetery, I'm the one who goes to the graveyard every time I go to play with those rotten corpses, what have you done? Aren't you just standing by and watching me work? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, I'm just a useful labor in your eyes, right? You don't dare hire someone else to do this kind of thing, but your brother doesn't have to worry about being secret, that's what you think! It's been like this since I was a kid, when you want to do something, I'll do it, and you'll just stand by and talk about it, don't think I've forgotten everything!"
"You ..............."
Gerry angrily raised his hand and pointed at his brother, he gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, but in the face of the dark shadow's burning angry eyes, he was silent for a moment, and his otherwise uncertain face calmed down again.
"Forget it, this is the last time we do this business, and as you said, you have been with me for so long, and I really haven't done you any good......... Forget it, just divide it according to what you say, I only need two bags, and you can take the remaining three bags. ”
Gerry took two steps back, picked up the two bags of gold coins on the table, then walked to the side and opened them, and began to carefully examine them. Noticing his brother's unexpected performance, his brother was stunned for a moment, then smiled as well, turned around, and opened the three bags of gold coins that remained on the table. In the light of the light, those glittering gold coins sway with a mesmerizing brilliance.
"It's the first time I've seen so much money..............."
The man reached out, trembling with excitement, trying to stroke the coins, before his movements stopped.
The sharp, sharp dagger pierced his body, ruthlessly plundering his life, the man's eyes widened in surprise, and he turned back with difficulty, and then, he saw his brother standing behind him at some point.
"I'd love to kill you all at once, but I think there's something I want to tell you first......"
Gerry leaned closer to his brother's ear and whispered through gritted teeth.
"You're a piece of waste, you're never going to be able to do anything without me, you're just a scum who can't do anything!"
“...............”
Hearing this, the man's eyes widened, he turned his head to look at his brother's face, and then, a cold smile appeared.
An icy wind blew.
Gerry was taken aback, and he tried to pull out the dagger stuck in his brother's back, giving the nasty creature the final fatal blow, but at that moment, his brother had already turned around, and the short knife in his right hand slashed through the darkness with a flash of light, and stabbed Gerry in the neck with unmistakable accuracy. Blood splattered, and before Gerry could make any move, he was stabbed through the neck by the short knife, and he stared, shook two or three times, and then fell to the ground with a heavy crashing sound. The man's legs also went limp, and he fell to the ground, and he reluctantly raised his head, looking at the dead Gerry, and showed a hideous smile.
"Without you, I still have one thing I can do, brother..............."
The man whispered, then turned around and reached for the gold coins on the wooden table not far away.
It's all mine, it's all mine!!
The man could no longer feel the pain in his back, on the contrary, a light, ethereal feeling filled his body, it was a strange comfort, as if it made people want to float to the sky.
As long as I have this money, then I am a rich man.........
The outstretched hand fell to the ground like a puppet with a broken thread, and the man's face still had that happy and hopeful smile.
But those godless eyes speak for themselves.
"It's over?"
Yuren strolled over to the bodies of the two brothers and looked at them with a hint of regret.
"It's a shame that I've already warned you. ”
Saying this, Yulian sighed regretfully, shrugged his shoulders, and then withdrew the money bag.
"So, it's time to get down to business.........
After taking the last purse into his arms, Yuren said to himself, and then, reaching out to grasp the hilt of his sword, he drew his sword.
The pitch-black blade shone with an eerie brilliance under the light, and with Yu Lian's movements, a bright red light emanated from the sword.
"It's time, it's time to get up, princesses. ”
As Yu Lian spoke, the red light that had been hovering around the pitch-black blade suddenly burst out.
